[edit] Career
Kenneth, who is a keen Dundee United supporter and came through the Jim McLean School of Excellence,[1] made his debut for United in February 2005, playing in the 3-0 Scottish Cup win at Queen of the South. Playing in the remaining thirteen games of the season, Kenneth's introduction to league football saw eleven goals conceded in just four games. However, following the Cup semi-final win over Hibernian, his contribution helped United concede just four goals in the final six league games. Kenneth was part of the United team who lost the Cup to Celtic. Kenneth signed a new contract in October 2006, taking him to 2010.[2] In March 2007, Kenneth moved to Cowdenbeath on loan for the remainder of the season.
Kenneth was part of the Scotland under-19 team who lost in the final of the 2006 European Under-19 Football Championship. Kenneth also played two warm-up games for Scotland's under-20s as preparation for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
